  • From Written to Printed Text: Transmission of Jewish Tradition
    FROM WRITTEN TO PRINTED TEXT: TRANSMISSION OF JEWISH TRADITION Center for Judaic Studies University of Pennsylvania Preface It is a pleasure to introduce this catalogue presenting an exhibit of Hebrew manuscripts and printed books located in the marvelous library collection of the University of Pennsylvania Center for Judaic Studies. The exhibit, which opens in the spring of 1996 at the University’s Van Pelt Library, focuses on the transmission of knowledge from medieval to modern times in Jewish culture, especially the remarkable changes in the process engendered by the technology of the printing press. The exhibit visually highlights some of the critical themes studied by a remarkable group of scholars in Bible, rabbinics, medieval and modern Jewish history, Hebrew paleography, Jewish and Islamic philosophy, Islamic history, ancient Christianity and more, assembled in this year’s fellow- ship at the Center for Judaic Studies. The exhibit coincides as well with the year-ending colloquium of the Center on the theme: “Learning and Literacy in the Judaic Tradition: A Comparative and Interdisciplinary Inquiry.” This exhibit constitutes a remarkable collaboration between the Center and its fellowship and staff and the Van Pelt library and its staff who have worked diligently to present the results of the learning experience of a group of scholars to a wider public audience at the University and beyond. I am pleased to thank publicly Dr. Paul Mosher and Dr. Michael Ryan and their staff for their support of the exhibit and for their general support and interest in the activities of the Center for Judaic Studies. I would also like to offer my appreciation to Aviva Astrinsky, Dr.

  • Emily Sienkiewicz 09
    THE IMAGE OF ERETZ ISRAEL Zionism and the Representation of Diasporic Identity Emily Sienkiewicz M.A. Candidate in Art History University of Minnesota-Twin Cities ABSTRACT This paper probes the influence of visual imagery in the emerging Zionist movement of the late nineteenth century and its unprecedented, large-scale fundraising campaigns. Recognizing the critical relationship between the Jewish population residing within Eretz Israel and the Diaspora abroad, key Zionist institutions and its members focused their efforts on the American Jewish community. Turning to the production of propagandistic artifacts featuring a distinct visual vocabulary, these organizations establish the image as integral to the eventual formation of Israel as both an independent state as well as the foundation for an international Jewish nation and Diasporic community. Introduction “The poor of the land of Israel come first.” This adage, originating in the text of the Hebrew Bible (Deuteronomy 15:7), is an established religious precept in the Jewish community dating as far back as Early Modern Europe. Evolving from this ubiquitous sentiment, Halukkah, defined as the transfer of funds from the Diaspora to Jews living in Eretz Israel, became a significant source of monetary support for the earliest settlers in Palestine, beginning in the 17th century. In addition to more traditional fundraising approaches, such as the production of pamphlets and religious appeals, the Jewish population of Palestine also engaged in the creation of visually enhanced materials for the purpose of direct fundraising sale and propaganda. Book, flyers, Tzedakah (charity) boxes and Challah covers were produced featuring images of Israel’s past and present.1 A visual vocabulary was invented in which trees, bricks and other commonplace items took on new and symbolically charged meanings intended to prime the Diasporic Jew’s emotional connection to her historical homeland.

Hebrew Typography: A Modern Progression of Language Forms Abstract: In 1962, designer Eliyahu Koren completed the Koren Tanakh typeface, a block Hebrew type, influenced by studies in traditional Ashkenazi and Sephardi scripts. The typeface had been designed for the printing of the Koren Tanakh, a first edition printed Jewish Bible processed through an all- Jewish collaboration for the first time in centuries. Koren’s project was inspired by the revival of Hebrew initiated by Haskalah writers in the 18th century.

  • How to Dress up in Eretz Israel, 1880S–1948: a Visual Approach to Clothing, Fashion and Nation Building
    INFS 6 (2) pp. 217–237 Intellect Limited 2019 International Journal of Fashion Studies Volume 6 Number 2 © 2019 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/infs_00006_1 svenja BethKe University of Leicester, United Kingdom how to dress up in Eretz Israel, 1880s–1948: a visual approach to clothing, fashion and nation building aBstract Keywords This article provides a methodological approach to the integration of Zionist photo- Jewish migration graphs into research on the pre-state Jewish community in Eretz Israel from the nation building end of the nineteenth century until the foundation of the Jewish state in 1948. By Eretz Israel focusing on dress, and drawing on visual culture and fashion studies, the article Yishuv highlights the role of the individual in nation building and foregrounds the influence Zionism of various migrant groups in the emergence of a national project. While scholarship male dress has largely ignored the role of dress, and especially male dress, in pre-state settings, visual culture the article takes the example of Eretz Israel to show how examining dress in Zionist photography photographs sheds light on the experimental and transnational character in search of a new Hebrew culture. By examining three photographs of socialist Zionist groups of the second Aliyah, the article shows how male Zionist settlers integrated transna- tional dressing habits and fantasies about their imagined homeland. They created a new way of dressing as an expression of political agendas that were interconnected with the reinvention of a new image of the male Jew. Looking beyond the case study of Eretz Israel, the article stresses the broader relevance of dress in the nego- tiations and power struggles at the micro level of a pre-state community and the emergence of national clothing ideals.

  • Art in the Holocaust
    ART IN THE HOLOCAUST COPY NOT DO Art in the Holocaust This exhibition aims to provide a glimpse into Holocaust art through a selection of artworks from the Yad Vashem Collection. The artworks were created by 20 artists during the period of the Holocaust (1939-1945), almost half of whom did not survive. The artworks reflects the tension between the inclination to document the terrible events endured and the desire to break free through art, transcending into the realms of beauty, imagination, and faith. While portraying their brethren, the Jewish artists tried to leave traces for future generations, thus fighting against the process of dehumanization and annihilation carried out by the German Nazis. Despite the appalling COPY living conditions and the daily struggle to survive, with their resourcefulness the artists overcame the scarcity of materials. Through the works that they createdNOT often at risk to their lives, they reasserted KARL ROBERT BODEK their individuality and their will to live. 1905, Czernowitz (Cernăuţi), Bukovina – 1942, Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp KURT CONARD LÖW Every work of art fromDO the time of the 1914, Vienna, Austria - 1980, Vienna, Austria Holocaust tells at least three stories: One Spring, Gurs Camp, 1941 Watercolor, India ink and pencil on paper that of the depicted, that of the artist, and 14.4x10.3 cm Collection of the Yad Vashem Art Museum, Jerusalem that of the artwork's survival.
